Photosynthesis

5. An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or substances derived from them.
6. A photosynthetic pigment that participates directly in the light reactions, which convert solar energy to chemical energy.
7. A route of electron flow during the light reactions of photosynthesis that involves only one photosystem and that produces ATP but not NADPH or O2.
8. The range of a pigment's ability to absorb various wavelengths of light; also a graph of such a range.
9. A quantum, or discrete quantity, of light energy that behaves as if it were a particle.
10. A graph that profiles the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving a particular process.

1. The distance between crests of waves, such as those of the electromagnetic spectrum.
2. In C4 plants, a type of photosynthetic cell arranged into tightly packed sheaths around the veins of a leaf.
3. A three-carbon carbohydrate that is the direct product of the Calvin cycle; it is also an intermediate in glycolysis.
4. An accessory photosynthetic pigment that transfers energy to chlorophyll a.
